Permane eyes double Q3 appearance for Racing Bulls in Barcelona

It is not often you hear a team principal be so direct about his expectations, but Alan Permane has set a high bar for the Racing Bulls squad at the Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix. He wants both his drivers in Q3 on Saturday, and he is not interested in excuses.

That puts the pressure squarely on Liam Lawson and Arvid Lindblad to deliver when it matters most. It is an ambitious target, but seeing both machines in the final qualifying segment would be a stunning statement of intent for the team.
